WHAT DID OKAN BURUK SAY?
Head coach Okan Buruk explained Lucas Torreira's situation after the Bodo/Glimt match, stating, "Lucas Torreira's father has had a heart attack, but he was on the field for this match. I need to reach out to everyone, talk to everyone, and connect. My job is not just training; off-field matters also take our time. I am very close to my players and value them greatly. Torreira is one of them. I send my best wishes to his father. It is really difficult for him to play in this way. We know how much he loves and values the team. Despite everything, we should talk about how he wanted to play in this match. This applies to many players. The same goes for Osimhen and Icardi... They want to make Galatasaray fans happy. We need to talk about their dedication and how they take ownership of the team. This value is also given to them by the fans."
